fabric-vnic-create
Netvisor allows the creation of a management interface on a Virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC) for fabric communication. In the current fabric, Netvisor allows two subnets: one for out-of-band provisioning and fabric, and one for in-band fabric. This feature allows three subnets per fabric:
- An out-of-band provisioning subnet
- An out-of-band fabric subnet
- An in-band fabric subnet
Each subnets uses a separate VLAN for traffic isolation purposes. When a vNIC is created for the management interface, fabric communication automatically switches to this vNIC, without additional configuration.
Syntax fabric-vnic-create
|
ip ip-address |
Specify the IP address of the vNIC. |
|
netmask netmask |
Specify the netmask for the IP address. |
|
vlan vlan-id |
Specify the VLAN ID for the vNIC. This must be unique to the vNIC. |
Defaults None
Access Network Administrator
History Command introduced in Version 5.1.1.
Usage Use this command to create a vNIC for fabric management.
Examples To create a vNIC with IP address, 20.1.1.1/24 on VLAN 22, use the following syntax:
CLI network-admin@switch > fabric-vnic-create ip 20.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 22
fabric-vnic-delete
Netvisor allows the creation of a management interface on a Virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC) for fabric communication. In the current fabric, Netvisor allows two subnets: one for out-of-band provisioning and fabric, and one for in-band fabric. This feature allows three subnets per fabric:
- An out-of-band provisioning subnet
- An out-of-band fabric subnet
- An in-band fabric subnet
Each subnets uses a separate VLAN for traffic isolation purposes. When a vNIC is created for the management interface, fabric communication automatically switches to this vNIC, without additional configuration.
Syntax fabric-vnic-delete
Defaults None
Access Network Administrator
History Command introduced in Version 5.1.0.
Usage Use this command to delete a vNIC for fabric management.
Examples To modify a vNIC with IP address, 20.1.1.1/24 on VLAN 32, use the following syntax:
CLI network-admin@switch > fabric-vnic-delete
fabric-vnic-modify
Netvisor allows the creation of a management interface on a Virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC) for fabric communication. In the current fabric, Netvisor allows two subnets: one for out-of-band provisioning and fabric, and one for in-band fabric. This feature allows three subnets per fabric:

- An out-of-band fabric subnet
- An in-band fabric subnet
Each subnets uses a separate VLAN for traffic isolation purposes. When a vNIC is created for the management interface, fabric communication automatically switches to this vNIC, without additional configuration.
Syntax fabric-vnic-modify
|
ip ip-address |
Specify the IP address of the vNIC. |
|
netmask netmask |
Specify the netmask for the IP address. |
|
vlan vlan-id |
Specify the VLAN ID for the vNIC. This must be unique to the vNIC. |
Defaults None
Access Network Administrator
History Command introduced in Version 2.6.0.
Usage Use this command to modify a vNIC for fabric management.
Examples To modify a vNIC with IP address, 20.1.1.1/24 on VLAN 32, use the following syntax:
CLI network-admin@switch > fabric-vnic-modify ip 20.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 32
fabric-vnic-show
Netvisor allows the creation of a management interface on a Virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC) for fabric communication. In the current fabric, Netvisor allows two subnets: one for out-of-band provisioning and fabric, and one for in-band fabric. This feature allows three subnets per fabric:
- An out-of-band provisioning subnet
- An out-of-band fabric subnet
- An in-band fabric subnet
Each subnets uses a separate VLAN for traffic isolation purposes. When a vNIC is created for the management interface, fabric communication automatically switches to this vNIC, without additional configuration.
Syntax fabric-vnic-show
|
ip ip-address |
Displays the IP address of the vNIC. |
|
netmask netmask |
Displays the netmask for the IP address. |
|
vlan vlan-id |
Displays the VLAN ID for the vNIC. This must be unique to the vNIC. |
Defaults None
Access Network Administrator
History Command introduced in Version 2.6.0.
Usage Use this command to display information about a fabric management vNIC.
Examples To display information about a fabric management vNI, use the following syntax:
CLI network-admin@switch > fabric-vnic-show
nic: vmgmt0
ip: 20.1.1.1/24
mac: 66:0e:94:6a:2a:ad
vlan: 20
nic-config: enable
nic-state: up
From the output, you can see the status of the interface as enabled and up as well as the vNIC name, IP address, MAC address, and VLAN.
